  1. I bought the B01 chronomat with black face and Roman numerals. Very nice watch apart from sunken date wheel. It's on my Avatar. Got mine from trusty
  2. My first watch purchase with him was almost off putting but glad I stuck with him now. Long story short the watch was in stock and after I paid he only had leather strap and not the stainless steel which was annoying! However the watches I have received are top notch and highly recommend. You can use paypal with him also but this is through a third party website after you've confirmed purchase, as mentioned quite handy as I use credit card for added protection. And I'm sure after the first you will get the bug and be buying at least 1 a month lol!!
  3. Thank you Mike and I went for the black face in the end, i'll post some pics as soon as I get it
  4. I chose Trusty for my first purchase, best website in my opinion. Super fast communication and pay pal friendly, 4 watches later and I won't be using anyone else. Fingers crossed it all works out for you.
  5. That's good to hear guys that your Asian clones are running well. The thread I was reading on rwi had quite a few people saying that the mech inside wasn't the Asian clone but something else again but very similar, causing probs with the date change. Luckily for me it's a birthday present so the extra cost for Swiss isn't a problem now lol.
  6. Ended up going with the Swiss from trusty, pulled the trigger on Friday , QC pics the following day and already with fed ex. Read quite an interesting thread over on RWI about a lot of Asian steel fishes having a different mechanism inside and quite a few problems... So thought best go with Swiss.
  7. Thanks mike you've just made my mind up, definitely going with the A-clone and you've saved my partner 180 bucks as she's getting for my bday
  8. Thanks for the heads up on this! that's a whole $180 cheaper than what Trusty is offering. I assume the extra cost is for nickel plated Swiss 2836 as Toro offers Asian ETA clone? Is there any real difference between the two and is the extra cost justified? Also noticed it does actually say V2 on the Trusty one... D'OH!!
  9. Okay so im looking at picking this up from Trusty and after a lot of investigation I'm aware there are 2 versions. Now obviously I'd like the latest version and Trusty offer the H Factory option which I hope is the latest one. Anybody able to confirm this as the only answer I'm getting from Trusty is 'yes in stocks' lol!!! It's also $388 so hope it is V2
  10. Here's a link for the avenger I bought. http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_137&products_id=10401 And your welcome!!
  11. Well I bought a B01 chronomat from Trusty in July, had no SS bracelets available so said I could have in leather and will send an SS bracelet when in stock... still no bracelet and highly unlikely I will get it either!! On the flip side I have recently bought the H Fac Super Avenger with SS Bracelet from Trusty and would highly recommend it. Beautiful watch.
  12. Ahh didn't realise!! Fingers crossed for you then and hope it arrives soon! Just going to pick my Hublot Big Bang up in an hour from the DHL depot.
  13. Mine said exactly the same mate, just be patient the watch will turn up in a few days now but quite possible you may get a charge like I did. However I didn't wait for the letter, as soon as the watch was in my local depot I drove down paid over the counter and got my watch!!
  14. Mine was sat in Coventry customs for a week, I then got hit with £25 charges but not the end of the world. My second came in 1 week exactly from payment to delivery so I wouldn't sweat it, just horrible having to wait.
  15. I've just bought my 3rd rep within 4 weeks today all from Andrew at Trusty. Couldn't recommend him highly enough and the super avenger I recently got is amazing!!
  16. Finally got round to adding the pics, just some quick shots so nothing impressive sorry. The watch is amazing, the Super Avenger has so much wrist presence and my wrists are just over 8 inches so doesn't look out of place either. My next purchase is a Hublot Stainless Steel and i'm definitely addicted to this!!
  17. I recently bought the B01 chronomat from Andrew. Very nice watch and not too big either. Black face with Roman numerals and a leather strap. Looks very smart with a shirt etc, its on my avatar if that helps.
  18. Yay!!! Received my watch today via DHL!! Ordered last Thursday and received it today! Awesome service from Trusty, certainly makes up for my first purchase. Think I might buy my third tonight lol
  19. Beautiful watch! Hoping mine arrives in the UK as quick as that... despatched Sunday/Monday via DHL. fingers crossed.
  20. Ahhh that makes sense then regarding DHL, I literally checked the tracking info every hour on my first watch lol but feel a bit more at ease about it this time around! wow hoping I get my watch this week as well if DHL operate that quick. Thanks pal and I'll let you know how it goes.
  21. So I've decided to take the plunge again and ordered another watch on Thursday! Got the QC pics on Saturday and sent Sunday. Only thing is the shipping on Sunday was changed from EMS to DHL but no tracking info can be located, probably a good thing as I'll only be checking every 5 minutes lol!! Communication so far has been spot on. Bit better than my first purchase so impressed, will post up a pic of the Super Avenger when it arrives
  22. I'd just like to add that the watch itself is amazing! My first rep and extremely happywith the quality. I'm probably going to buy another tonight so just hope it goes smoother than my first transaction.
  23. must be my bad luck then. ordered my first watch from him and after payment no stainless steel bracelets available so sent with leather and promised to forward a steel one when in stock. got hit with customs charges and still no stainless steel bracelet... just hoping he comes through with the agreement.
  24. Still no SS bracelets in stock but I'm getting used to the leather now. Need to decide what to get next lol
